[@Mistiel] Ah. Reminded me of Zach Snyder's Sucker Punch. Really good movie, when you look past the fanservice.

Oh, shitpost, right-

Did you know that in 1909, two men were given 8,000 dollars from the U.S. government to design and build robot soldiers to conquer the world? These guys continued to be paid until someone started asking questions during World War 2, in 1943, actually, and the project was cut. The two men tried to sue, but were found after announcing it with their heads inexplicably crushed, and all of their research missing.
